Title: USMNT v El Tri
Post by: Uncle Charlie on April 15, 2015, 08:13:56 pm: I was watching the pre-game on FS1 and now it's darts? Found it on the Spanish channel but surely it's somewhere on an English channel too. Anyone know where it might be on Uverse?

Oh - and the pitch is embarrassing.

I don't think you'll find it. Rights dispute between FS1 and Uverse results in live programming often getting replaced with...darts.

Post by: chuck on April 15, 2015, 08:50:25 pm: I'm sort of half watching the game with the sound down. I've got the Astros on also and there are some local games I'm checking in on as well. I look over between at bats and I see the camera focused on a guy who is chanting something. I look in to try to read his lips to figure out what he's saying. For the longest time I can't make it out until at last I realize that he's chanting U-S-A! U-S-A!

Univision isn't part of any normal TV package?

Didn't know this -aggregating but is what it is.

Good to see 2-0 return.

I have Uverse and watched the game on 1697 which is the alternate channel for Root Sports Houston.

Same in DFW market on Uverse.

Who knew? It must be exhilarating to see in person.

Post by: drew corleone on April 16, 2015, 10:25:03 pm: Had the good fortune of getting a free ticket to the game and made the trip down to SA. Man, that place was rocking for a full 90 minutes. It was by far the most raucous atmosphere I have seen at the Alamodome, at least since Sean Elliot hit the Memorial Day Miracle 16 years ago.

Stopped at the mega-Buccee's in New Braunfels on the way home for some jerky and I think every Austinite in attendance was there at the same time... "Dos a Cero" and "USA" chants galore.
